Fable 2 had its fans, but how does it stack up today in the presence of more refined open world games? Especially though the eyes of the uninitiated?

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
Don't
It stacks up in a few instances, but it is mediocre at bet in most things in the game. It's still a good game to play, even now; but it isn't one that you'll be coming back to constantly. It's just a fun type of game that is somewhat different, which is all that is really left of its charm. Once plaid two or three times, what is left of that charm is long gone despite being remembered as a decent but fun/entertaining game.
...It didn't stack up terribly well against open world games of it's time, or even earlier for that matter. There's nothing terribly -wrong- with Fable two (see Fable Three for that) but it's just so pedestrian and unambitious that it's depressing.
Fable 1 was awesome but 2 not so much
